Testimonial for Renée Pizzuto

Our Doula experience was a real step above our last experience. Thank you so much. You’re amazing. Your approach is unique because it did three things well. Your prepared us for what to expect. Even though we’d done it before, it was five years ago. I think Mother Nature deliberately makes you forget so the human race won’t go extinct. Your thoughtful, research-based guides were very helpful and frankly educational. This prepared us for every step of the way in detail. I was amazed by how close our experience was to the projected version in your materials and live walkthroughs with the “baby.” Your reminded Nilda that she had the right to chose and do what her body was built to do by nature. By explaining to Nilda (and me) the role of contractions, the power of breathing, and the science of the hormones, it allowed her to embrace the experience. Instead of running away from the contractions, she went towards them and it was an experience I will never forget. Siena’s birth was a beautiful one no doubt. But, Lucia’s carried with it a primal, almost spiritual experience as I watched my wife connect with her child’s birth in a loving way. Amazing! You gave me something to do. It might sound funny, but we men need a role beyond contributing our sperm in the birthing process. I was there as my wife’s coach. I was present to provide her support as she climbed the escalator to her postpartum self. During the birth, I focused on holding her hands, saying supportive things to her and connecting to her when she needed it. It is the most connected I have felt to my love in a long time. This was all made possible by your non -judgmental content that provides clear encouragement to be free, to be in love.
